Pros and cons, side by side

Fold Card (debit) and Fold Credit Card

What works

No annual fee on either the debit or the credit card
Credit card's 1.5% base Bitcoin-back rate is uncapped, unlike many competitors' capped tiers
Combining the Bitcoin-payment bonus and Boosted bonus can reach 4% on a meaningful chunk of monthly spend
No staking or token lockup required for any tier

What to watch

Restricted to US residents only, with no international availability on any Fold product
The debit card's spin-wheel mechanic makes real-world reward rates unpredictable purchase to purchase
The Boosted 2% bonus on the credit card applies only to the first $2,000 of monthly spend tied to specific qualifying activity
Fold+ debit subscription benefits are reportedly being restructured during 2026, creating uncertainty about which perks will persist

KuCoin Card (KuCard)

What works

Cashback can reach as high as 8.5% for large KCS holders combining VIP status and Loyalty Level bonuses
No staking lockup is described for the New Zealand program's base VIP-tier cashback, unlike some competitors' 12-month lockups
Multiple tiers are reachable purely through exchange trading volume (VIP status) rather than requiring a card-specific deposit
Cashback is paid in USDC or KCS, so the payout can be a dollar stablecoin rather than the exchange's own token

What to watch

KuCoin operates what appear to be two distinct, non-overlapping card programs under the same brand name, creating real risk of publishing the wrong country's terms as universal
Even at the highest combined cashback percentage, redemption is capped at 250 USDC per month, limiting the real-dollar value for high spenders
The separately reported EEA program's fees are not corroborated on any page KuCoin itself hosts, and should be treated as unverified
Entry-tier cashback for typical users without meaningful KCS holdings or trading volume is as low as 1%, capped at just 10 USDC per month
